(2-4.) Triumphant is the illustrious Bhaskaracharya whose feet are revered by the wise, (he who was) eminently learned in Bhatta's doctrine, unique in the Samklys, an independent thinker in the Tantra, possessed of unblemished knowledge of the Veda, (and) great in mechanics and other arts; who laid down the law in metrics, was deeply versed in the Vaiseshika system, might have instructed the illustrious Prabhakara in his own doctrine, was in poetics (himself) a poet, (and) like unto the three-eyed (god Siva) in the three branches (of the Jyotisha), the multifarious Ganita and the rest.
(5.) May blessings rest on the illustrious race of Yadu with everything pertaining to it, (a race) in which Vishnu himself was born, to protect the trembling universe!

(8.) In former days Purushottama became incarnate for the good of the world in Yadu's family. IIe it is who here is conquering the whole earth (and) who protects me, the ruler of the earth, the lord Simha.
Now for the description of the family of the dependents:
(9.) May fortune attend the illustrious solar race in which the prince Nikumbha born, whose descendant was Râma!
(10.) In this (race) was the illustrious prince, named Krishnaraja, who defeated
